The 2005 Ashes. Remember it? Read this
By Will last year, mid-January, 17 Comments »
My mate Dan, who continues to claim he works for The Wisden Cricketer magazine when we all know he’s much too small to hold such a prestigious position, needs your help. Don’t worry, nothing like that. Cast your mind (or minds), Britons, back to 2005 when the country was gripped in Ashes fever. He’s kindly asked for your assistance. From his high-chair in a posh part of London, he reached forward with all his Norfolk might to the keyboard and thus wrote:
“The world’s leading cricket magazine (yes, really) wants to hear from you or your friends for four very good reasons:
- Those who got into cricket (or back into cricket) through the 2005 Ashes.
- They’d want to hear your stories and reasons and be available for a phone interview throughout March.
- Those who got into the Ashes 2005 but have paid no interest to cricket since (everyone has a friend like this). (Dan, this is you. WL)
- Those who skived off work to watch the series or spent far too much time following it online at work.
- Those who were at the parade.
Always the skinflints, TWC do not pay for interviews but they are very nice to you”.
I can confirm the last sentence is emphatically correct on nearly both instances. So, leave a comment with a brief memory or five about how you felt during the series, how you followed it, and Dan’ll be in touch
